Traders Prep for Crude Oil Inventories & Market Personality Clues
Professional traders understand that the road to trading success is very easy to navigate, but very few people actually use it. Instead, most traders look for shortcuts, which never give them the results they are looking for, and often puts them further behind in their learning than when they started. First, we must learn about the industry we are working in, we need to know how the markets work, and how we can profit from them buying and selling. Second, we must get to know the market personality of a few select markets and know them better than we know ourselves. Third, we must execute a simple trading strategy that has been proven over time to have a statistical reliability in its long term results. You see…these three steps are easy to understand, so why don’t we see more professional traders? Simple, people don’t take the clear path, they want shortcuts, magic indicators and guru’s that call trades for them. Stop cutting corners and looking for shortcuts, you know what you need to do, now lets go out and do it.
